Upgraded rear? Clutch?

It has the power potential for 11s, just depends if he can launch and shift well.

every thing else is stock except for the mods i listed. 3.42 gear
i believe 11's is pushing it

i was thinking with a decent 60' and good driving 12's should be no problem....

the DA will be around 3000 at the track....

Yeah, I was thinking mid 12's should be fairly attainable with good traction.

the bad part of that is my heads/cam/full bolt-on LT1 will only be about 1/2 second faster than his LS1 with limited boltons

12.5 to 12.8 would be my guess. Maybe a tad better if he's a great driver and maybe a bit worse if he's a bad driver. Also depends on the track elevation and weather. I'm sure there is gonna be a lot of cars at the track that can run his times or better. But not many look as good as an WS6 TA doing it

I'd say a little bit better than 12.5 if he knows how to drive. With the LCA's and the Tires alone you should hit 12's easily and the other mode might add some power. I would say the best is 12.3.

I'm also gonna have to say low 12's once he gets the launch down. Traction is the main problem and the tires and LCA's wll definatley help with that. Hell if i had DR i could be in the 12's and i have virtually nothing.
